ATTORNEY WITNESSE m nmvmaor smnomiron, mion'idam NONREEILLAIBLEBOTTLii i i and useful Improvements in Noureflllable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.- I r v v My present invention has reference to bottles, and has for its object to provide a bottle which means whereby the contents thereof cannot be removed and the bottle refilled with inferior liquids without de tection. i u

The foregoing and other Objectswh ch will appear as the nature of the lnventlon is better understood, may be accompllshed by a construction, combination and operative association of parts, suchas isv CllS- closed by the drawings which accompany. and which form part of this specification.

In the drawings v Figure 1 is an approximately vertical central sectional view through a bottle in ac cordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a similar view showing the cork rearranged in the collar in the bottle neck after the same has been withdrawn therefrom.

Figure 3 isa' sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is an approximately central ver tical sectional view through the collar.

Figure 5 is a similar view through the bottle neck.

Referring 'now to the drawings in detail, the numeral 1 designates a portion of an ordinary bottle, the same being provided" with the usual restricted neck 2. Between the neck andbottle proper there is a flange 3, and the inner wall of the neck at desired and resting on the shoulder Specification of Lettets'Patent, P te t d 23, 1922, Application filed Decemberl2, 1921.

7 respectively that provide ockets for flat sprlngs 8 and 9' respectively. The outer and inner series of springs 8 and 9 are -arranged in pairs which'are disposed opposite each other and which are connected together and secured to the collar by means of pins 10' which pass through the collar adjacent to the inner end thereof. When the collar is received in the bottle neck the outer springs 8 will leave the pockets provided by the depressions 6 and enter the depressions 4, the outer ends ofthe said springs .contacting with the straight upper or outer shoulders provided by the depressions '4, and thus effectively secure the collar in thebottle' neck. The innersprings 9 are designed to engage'a cork or similar stopper- 11. As the springs 9 exert an inward tension angularly with respect to the stopper, it will be "apparent that the stopper 11 cannot be forced through the passage 12 in the flange 3 in the body of the bottle, and itwill also be apparent that by the employment of a cork screw the stopper 11 may be withdrawn. When withdrawn, the stopper will have its inner end resting on the upper ends of the inner springs 9, when the said stopper is reinserted in the collar to temporarily seal the bottle. Before the collar is inserted in the bottle neck, the stopper 11 is forced into the bore of the collar'from .the inner end thereof, and it is thought that the foregomg description, when taken in connection with the drawings will fully set forth the construction and advantages of the improve ment to thoseskilled in the art to which this invention relates; r

Thestopper 1 1 is of a greater length than collar, as the said sto per isreceived in the'openin 12 of the flange 3 in the neck of the bottle when the bottle issealed.

- Having described the invention, I claim A bottle ,having'an inwardly directed flange atthe juncture of the-neck and body thereofand said neck having its inner surface provided withlongitudmally arranged depressions whose inner walls are arran d at an inward. an 1e from the flange, a co ar designed to be inserted in the bottle neck and to rest on the flange, said collar having its inner and outer surface provided with longitudinal depressions, flat springs arranged in opposed pairs designed to be end walls in the said depressions, and aseated in the depressions, means passing sto per inserted from the inner end of the through the collar, adjacent to the inner col er and engaged by the inner springs on 10 end thereof and secur'in the springs theresaid collar. 1

on, the outer springs esigned to engage ln testirnony whereof I affix my signature.
